Farahnaz Hatam, Laptop solo Supercollider Programming environment performed live by evaluating code that is preprogrammed with a time based score, allowing a window of time for each evaluation.
Recorded directly out of SuperCollider. December 2011.
Special thanks to Sergio Luque. Picture and design by Aniana Heras.
"This algorithmic composition was written for a performance at Able Gallery
it was a room recording in which there were some sounds from the audience, such as coughing and so on, therefore I performed the score in the studio to get a recording without audience noise."
About your personal background
"I started as a visual artist and molecular biologist. I am still working as a molecular biologist, but I have moved more in the direction of working only with Sound.
I started doing interactive sound installations about twelve years ago, which I think is a practice. I will go back again some time in the near future, but in the last four years or so,
I have been working mostly as a performer in the concert situation."
History of NK
"I co-founded NK 3 1/2 years ago with
Julian Percy, previous to that we worked together with a larger artist collective
in which decision making processes were incredibly difficult and lengthy, so we decided to start a smaller collective with a more concentrated interest, i.e. experimental music.
Recently
Manuela Benetton joined us as an independent curator."
